It's incredible when watching and listening to the real Chris Kyle you can really appreciate how much work Bradley Cooper put in to studying and really becoming the character in the film American Sniper. Really shows his respect for the man and truly comes thru to the audience. A true great performance of all time.

[@scribblypibbles4129]

By saying that chris kyle is a murderer is calling every single american service member a criminal. Every single shot that he took had to be recorded, examined, and needed an eye witness. It seriously makes me feel sick to see such comments about a man that lived and died helping the people he cared for and loved. Please have some perspective people

[@scribblypibbles4129]

And btw I'm a democrat, I think fox sucks but I believe that chris kyle is an american legend through and through and his memory should be honored not slandered

[@marianlynch4829]

WAR SUCKS!! QUESTION-- IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WILLIAM CALLEY (MY LAI MASSACRE) AND CHRIS KYLE? IF I WAS AN IRAQI CIVILIAN--- GIVE ME CHRIS KYLE ANY DAY!!!

[@peternielsen9516]

+Brendan Dolan You are so rigth. He is a hero for the free world .

[@MrBibibip]

''he who lives with the sword ,dies by the sword''.

[@budearta]

He lied about Ventura

[@Bulldog-bt5dx]

Rest in peace Chris. Your bravery will continue to inspire us all. Thank you for everything.

[@rololoy2]

He was a murderer. That's the bottom line.

[@Madawg65]

More like continue to inspire real Americans

[@kd47730]

Thank you to all the veterans that have served this great country. God Bless!

[@sageblythe1187]

Like him or not, this man fought for what he believed was right. He deserves respect. RIP Chris Kyle

[@lorettaelainealvaradominto180]

My heart goes out to Kyle wife and children

[@federicomarras5870]

Why did they add the audio of shot at the video where he is shooting? What ever... Rest easy Legend

[@MagnumPrimeM44]

God bless Chris Kyle. A real Hero.

[@MagnumPrimeM44]

Negative, maggot.

[@MagnumPrimeM44]

You can clearly not tell the difference between good and evil thus you are bound for hell.

[@dallassmith7468]

Chris Thomas I don't believe in HEAVEN or HELL you stupid douche-bag. Only a stupid person who believes in al the fear-mongering to support the war-mongering ( that is you Chris) would believe in a fairy-tale that was designed to control the masses.

[@MagnumPrimeM44]

you seem mad, you mad bro?

[@dallassmith7468]

Chris Thomas More like CONCISE and KNOWLEDGEABLE Bro. If you can't figure things out nowadays, with all the information at your finger-tips... you are just plain old stupid.

[@dangerouswater]

He is talking about the greater good and at 4:49 in the headlines you read "Florida man beheaded in fight over barbecue..."

[@rgarydriggers4737]

Chris Kyle, true American hero, RIP. Too many hero operators are dead. My same respects to other dead heroes such as Gordon and Shughart (Blackhawk Down).

[@MarcoORVISINI]

A navy seal walks into a bar.............. Everyone already knows it because he has said it at least 20 times

[@MrWFactor]

A true badass. Thank you. RIP

[@DaciaProject]

He did not punch Ventura!

[@rmartel11]

God Bless Chris Kyle. He is an American Hero.

[@daverunner3397]

Salute..

[@chphotography1879]

Does anyone know the song used in this?

[@elizabethsinclair5936]

A real American hero!! It really makes me sick to read negative comments about our men and women who have given their all for each of us to have freedom of speech. I guess these are unlearned, evil people who only know hate. God have mercy on them. May God bless Chris Kyle's widow and beautiful children.

[@PNice972]

good stuff Fox. Thanks for sharing this again

[@actorep]

Ask Mr. Kyle one question, then stop mumbling and let him answer. Other news stories flashing at bottom of screen should have be paused for his interview. Otherwise, RIP Mr. Kyle.

[@AaronLoyd]

Thank you Chris!

[@peternielsen9516]

A real AMERICAN HERO. Wish we have more like him. REST IN PEACE CHRIS.

[@ianvlogs4887]

This was my birthday.. rip legend.

[@JOSEMORALES-uk4ch]

anyone else think that the intro music sounds like suppressed gunshots

[@wkeil1981]

Great stuff thanks. He is a hero.

[@thonimanalu7946]

Never bored to watch bout chris kyle story life. Not only american proud of you but also me proud of you even just watched the movie. Taya kyle you were worth it to have chris. And He will always life in your day by having great son and beautiful daughter. Love this family. Gbu

[@JBthree24]

I feel so bad for him and his family. 🇺🇸

[@harleydavison4526]

Chris Kyle was good at what he did Saved lives but I don't believe for a second that he ever hit Jesse Ventura!

[@Joaomarcos789]

yes

[@tylersteffen1413]

Man I wish I could meet the legend

[@emersongomes6388]

Merece meu respeito..

[@yaniczka]

hero!!!! RIP

[@donnavillarreal3425]

I don't care what's true and what isn't but as for me, I'm not judging anyone. I would have to be in Chris Kyles boots to say what i would do if I were over there fighting a war and for my life. I appreciate all the men and women who have fought in our wars. They are all heroes to me. But to say its wrong or right, I would have to be there myself.

[@Themann53]

This guy was a true american hero and to all u people who ssy different to hell with u and ur flawed opinions.

[@kennadowning]

You do realize that saying that people who disagree with you have opinions that are flawed... shows an incredible lack of maturity and insight.... don't you.

[@averagetexan1472]

Chris Kyle is one of my many Idols he's one of the people who have inspired me to be in the US military God bless Chris

[@randypacchioli2933]

Chris was a hero. RIP. America salutes you.

[@laurieandvalfanlaurieandva1293]

I hate reading negative comments about a true hero. Chris Kyle put his life on the line and fought for this country and our freedom. He didn't have to do that. If you have never served in the military I don't think you can say anything because you don't know what he went through or saw during his 4 tours of duty in Iraq. Yes. Chris Kyle took lives but he saved lives by taking out the people that he did. I don't know about what you people think but I will forever be grateful to Chris Kyle and every service man and woman who put their lives on the line for my freedom.

[@bo2oservice]

Ironic how it took a "nobody", perhaps on SSRIs to take him out...

[@JMay-]

I do not understand why Kyle would lie about Jesse Ventura and about sniping from the dome after Katrina. Neither are true. Ventura won in court and the only witness they could find said that Ventura never made that comment. Why would Kyle lie? NO hero is perfect. he tarnished his own accomplishments by lying.

[@drewdickerson7172]

God Bless Chris Kyle. A true American Hero. Rest in peace.

[@plusaeroservices3235]

I found significant things very contradictory with the book and the movie. 1,- Snipers would never brag on what they did because it goes against their most elemental rule which is invisibility, to remain anonimous and safe. They are not cowboys on white horses, they don't want to be seen ever. 2.- In that episode with Jesse Ventura this guy changed the story about twice and end up saying that he pushed a blury faced guy that he believed that was Ventura. It goes against another elemental rule which is precision. How come he was a sniper and he was not actually and precisely sure that it was Ventura? These to things make me wonder if this is not just another truck driver wearing a custome. If Ventura won the suit after this guy's death then he never was pushed by Kyle, and Kyle was lying or confused. Two things that a real sniper would never let happen.

[@Jospehporta]

LMAO a real sniper, you know absolutely fuck all.

[@plusaeroservices3235]

James Dean Very strong argument, I am convinced

[@Jospehporta]

Plus Aero Services Glad to have helped you.

[@plusaeroservices3235]

James Dean Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge and understanding, no wonder you belive in it. The ideal lamb that follows the wolf.

[@CityofDreams95]

hey i dont know any snipers but they interest me greatly , how do you know these are elemental rules , i mean their pretty obvious , dont be seen or heard , accuracy , clearness , and effectivness . Could you go further into detail ? thanks a lot

[@laloverdad1431]

any soldier killed by friendly fire is a hero no diferent than this soldier

[@rubenchavez6638]

Happy Birthday Chris Kyle

[@priyankabiswasbiswaspriyan3575]

Soldiers r the real hero.....of every country they serve....respect u r the real legend ...🙏🙏🙏 respect for India......RIP Chris

[@videonaj]

Sad that so many civilians died - around 200,000 fighting in this country that it itself had nothing to do with 9/11

[@verensss]

R.I.P Chris Kyle

[@jayski2378]

Ventura still saying Chris didn't knock his ass to the ground...hahaha

[@extremeteenagers1615]

Not 225 180 I think

[@slimg701]

God Bless That Man And America

[@taylormatthews6875]

pray that he's in piece.. for ur not judged by actions but by faith

[@carstenfalk7199]

In Germany everybody would hate him because of killing 250 people... They would treat him as a murderer. Sometimes America really is the best country in world.

[@Sweetearth1958]

Did I just see fox use a GI Joe toys photo at the 9 second mark? Why yes I did.

[@jamesgrear154]

Hooyah legend, hoo fucking yah.

[@ayuputeri4422]

Love You.Rip...

[@milvache]

Chris Kyle is an Amerian Hero, he fought for the Land of the Free and Brave when their freedom was taken away after 9/11

[@jrw3349]

"Chief Chris Kyle I'll call you that instead of chris that just seems informal! So chris how are you"

[@daverunner3397]

Violence does solve problems..

[@hotrodjones74]

And..........a Finn has nearly three times the kills he has without a telescopic sight. Not to mention many other Soviet snipers from WWII that have more kills than him (ex. Vasiliy Zaitsev).

[@Jospehporta]

Right, see if you can work out the difference. If Kyle had spent 4 years fighting on teh Eastern Front, he'd probably have 1000 kills. Completely different war.

[@mrc6032]

miss you Chris. your a badass true American hero.

[@paulkeane3749]

True hero

[@ladymudlogger]

I cry everytime I watch this hero!

[@carolkitchen200]

How did he die?

[@theStashSmash]

He was shot at a Texas gun range by a marine.

[@sjoerdreitsma8348]

Gunned down at a shooting range by a former marine who he was helping

[@lsubaseballboy811]

He was shot by a Veteran he was trying to help at a shooting range

[@victorispauloy9485]

On Saturday, February 2, 2013, Kyle and a companion, Chad Littlefield, were shot and killed at the Rough Creek Ranch-Lodge-Resort shooting range in Erath County, Texas, by 25-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran Eddie Ray Routh, whom Kyle and Littlefield had reportedly taken to the gun range in an effort to help him with what they were told by his mother was post traumatic stress disorder. May they both rest in peace.

Navy Chief! Navy Pride!

[@BroHam214]

Dat Avenged Sevenfold though.

[@osito-jh9vi]

The legend

[@playstation3demon13]

RIP brother

[@docmillerjd]

Sad to see so many idiots ( I can only assume they are foreign ) talk so disrespectfully about a real hero. The man saved more than American lives, he saved innocent lives of civilians over there. Terrorists, insurgents, what ever you Want to call them, are savages. Brutal, evil, demented savages that kill. I was in the field hospital. I saw what they did to children. Killing anyone who fought, force feeding kids diesel fuel, and watching them die over days. If they left before then, many men would walk days to bring those children in just to watch them die, as we could do nothing. Is this war for our freedom? not right now. Is it for our security? Yes. Fight them there, so we don't have to here. But what's it really for? It's for the innocent. To protect against genocide. To stop the evil before it spreads else where. Chris Kyle was hero because he saw the evil, and faced it. Willing to lay his life on the line for it. The world suffered a great loss loaing Chief Kyle. May he rest in peace, and peace be to his family and friends.

[@Doodlebros2023]

Agreed. So many Muslims or other foreigners who just hate Americans here left many heartless comments.. May Chris rest in peace.

[@docmillerjd]

ElaboratePerson, you have nothing factual or intellectual to say. You invalidate yourself. That "marine" was out to killl his friend, and not Chris. His own words. He killed Chris to get to the other.

[@eddiev5305]

Amen.

[@ghassanjenainaty4212]

jdma l I am a muslim and i dont hate America at all. Perhaps if i was American i would have been strong fan of Chris but i believe that the Iraqi war itself was a big mistake !

[@_.9S._]

JD Miller Hooah, preach brother.

[@codypoling2833]

RIP The legend SEMPER FI

[@_.9S._]

It disgusts me to see all of these comments hate on kyle. He never took joy into killing, he was only proud to serve his nation. He also saved many marines and troops. Jihads used children and women to kill our troops, shit they even killed their own people. War is not glitters and sunshine, it's hell. Many people want to stop war but no matter what it's inevitable. In my eyes Kyle is a hero, and a man who loved his family and a proud American. RIP Kyle, you will be missed by those who truly understand what you went through.

[@tonyis25]

Every person that says he is a coward or anything like that are the ones weren't great full of their country enough to serve for the United States. People see what the news wants them to but will never know what the low life's overseas actually do. Congrats at being so manly and courageous for being behind a computer talking about someone who was murdered and saying they were a coward for risking their life for you to be able to do that. R.I.P Chris Kyle. Til Valhall

Oh shut up. I think these guys know a little more than you considering they have a pair between their legs.

[@MrVeggis1964]

You do know now that he was a liar ?

[@Jospehporta]

He wasn't fighting or dying for the Iraqi's, he hated them. I can tell you that much.

[@walkerhaw3871]

i respect you sir.however chris kyle is a liar,a fraud and a sycopathic criminal.

Did Chris Kyle go to heaven or hell?

[@jamesjefferson2882]

Probably neither because they don't exist.

[@jadheater8692]

Heaven, of course!!! God bless him and his family!!!!

[@Bradykreitman]

The number of lives he saved far outweighs the number of lives he took, and the fact that he would put the needs of others in front of himself makes him a Saint in my book.

[@ChalmersAtDaBuzzer08]

Heaven

[@MAlford65]

He was ready to meet his creator and answer for every shot that he took. I'd say the answer is obvious, but you would be sarcastic.

[@gder2993]

He was a patriot, hero and murderer. But I do not understand why people of E. U hate their own soldiers. When they are given a life of service and sacrafice. And I'm not a pro E. U, but in a war (declared or not) do you prefer to send? A mouse or a lion. A civilian with an iPhone or an MK12 murderer. In his book said "The soldiers do not choose our battles. And all the enemies that i kill I saw evil in them." I personally fascinate Middle Eastern cultures and if they left behind their fanaticism that sometimes think they ignore their own rules and most honorable traditions as Malala said. Middle East would be a beautiful place to visit. This is my opinion, so who cares.

Everyone's butthurt lol thank you Chris kyle may you rest in peace!

[@otto5656]

Losing a defamation lawsuit does not mean Kyle lied about the actual event taking place. It only means that what he said about Ventura costed Jesse money and future earnings.
